I'm not sure I envy you too much the task you have ahead of you to plumb that overflow!!

My 65g has about the same amount of space in behind it and getting back there to clean the strainers means pulling out the ladder and suspending myself over top the whole kit-n-kaboodle!

The wall behind is almost gone now, my plan is to bring the wall out to the front of the tank.

Very nice. If you bring the wall to the front won't you lose a lot of viewing capability from the side?

Ya sorry, I guess I should have worded that better. The wall behind the tank is opened up. Basically the side of the tank will be brought out but with the viewable glass framed in so you can still see in from that side.
(if my rambling makes sense? lol)

The smaller sump was real tricky to fine tune the water levels, especially trying to get the overflow at the right height. Either way tho I'd be in a pickle without one so I appreciate it for sure!!
